+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The shell script
+.Nm MAKEDEV ,
+found in the
+.Pa /dev
+directory, is used to create
+the common special
+files.
+See
+.Xr special 8
+for a more complete discussion of special files.
+.Pp
+.Nm MAKEDEV
+takes any number of device names as arguments,
+where the names are the common abbreviation for
+the device. There are three special device names,
+.Ar all ,
+.Ar std
+and
+.Ar local .
+If
+given,
+.Ar all
+creates device files for all devices on
+the Sparc. If units are expected for a device
+.Nm MAKEDEV
+supplies the standard numbers.
+The
+.Ar std
+argument creates the standard devices for the Sparc.
+Finally
+.Ar local
+is for devices specific to the local site, and
+executes the shell file
+.Pa MAKEDEV.local .
+.Pp
+The Sparc supports the following devices.
+Where a device name is followed by a hash
+sign ("#"), the hash sign must be replaced
+by a unit number.
